TLS as president, one page, 6.75 x 8.75, November 28, 1964. Johnson writes to Stan Greigg, mayor of Sioux City, Iowa. In part: “I am pleased to endorse your candidacy for Iowa’s Sixth District Congressional seat. Your experience will be most helpful to northwest Iowa in the Congress. It is with particular pleasure that I welcome men of your integrity and educational background to the national scene. The agricultural section of our country is in need of spokesmen with knowledge and vision. Best wishes for success.” Greigg served in the House of Representatives and later became Deputy Chairman of the Democratic National Committee. It was he who officially filed the criminal complaint against the Watergate burglars, setting into motion the legal process that would ultimately lead to the resignation of Richard Nixon.
